sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw 0.1.6 released!

We're happy to announce the sigrok-firmware-fx2lafw 0.1.6 release. This is an open-source firmware that allows you to use almost any of the popular Cypress FX2 based devices as logic analyzers. It also supports a number of FX2 based USB oscilloscopes/MSOs like the Hantek 6022BE/BL or the Sainsmart DDS120.

The source code and pre-built firmware files are available from the usual place:

This is a bugfix release (no new device support has been added), mainly fixing an issue that could cause non-working and/or prematurely aborted acquisitions with FX2 based logic analyzers on some systems (bug #655).

Additionally, FX2 based logic analyzers will now toggle pin PA1 during acquisition, and keep it high while idle. On fx2grok-tiny and fx2grok-flat devices there's a LED connected to PA1. Thus, those devices will visually indicate whether a firmware has been uploaded (LED will light up and stay like that while the device is idle). During any acquisition the LED will blink.
